The expectations didn't meet the word of mouth. I had heard it was a good taqueria, but the food fell a little short. The tequila choices for the margaritas aren't very good, a second basket of chips is going to be about $3, and the chicken sauce on top of my burrito was extremely watery.

With a plethora of good Mexican Restaurants around, I was a bit skeptical trying a new place. El Roy's brick and mortar restaurant is tops, but I tend to take out, as I do at What a Chicken. The Mi Pueblo restaurants are great for eating in, some with outdoor seating. So after walking by many times to get dessert at Fruita, we gave Don Pancho a try. Warmly greeted when we entered. Both TV's had sports on. Tortas were big and good. Chile rellenos were delicious. Still a bit crispy while covered in sauce. I wish they served Machacas on their breakfast menu. My favorite. Servers checked in often and always had our chips, salsas, and drinks filled. I nice cozy family owned Mexican place with plenty of parking and Fruita dessert next door.

The staff is always on point. From getting greeted as you come in. Always seated quickly. Fast friendly service. And the food is well seasoned and the Macho Burrito w Carne Asada that I had is fantastic and Huge.Parking: It's in a strip mall. There's a huge parking lot shared by all the shops. Usually easy to park close to the restaurant.
The people seem nice. The beans taste exactly like the ones from a can. They are even the same pudding-like texture. They claim they make them but I just don’t buy it. The rice was undercooked. I kept biting into hard pieces of rice. Stingy with the portions as well. I hate to write a bad review, but not satisfied.

I finally made it in to Don Pancho's. Friends have recommended it to me & I wanted to order my favorite combo plate, chile rellenoes & cheese mole enchiladas. The restaurant is traditionally decorated and the vibe was cheerful & cozy. The rellenoes were delicious as were the enchiladas. I might ask them not to put as much cheese on top next time but I still enjoyed it. The salsas were well seasoned meaning if you are sensitive to salt, some of the salsas might be an issue for you. I liked them, I am a chef so I don't mind salt. The chips were good and so was the salsa verde they served alongside them. I had horchata which was standard & tasty & I ordered flan for dessert. I believe they used a custard mix which is not my favorite but it was plated beautifully with the option of whipped cream & chocolate sauce. I had mine plain & ended up taking it togo since the portions served were quite hearty. The service was excellent & I was cheerfully greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Service was attentive and kind throughout my entire meal. I will definitely return to try some other dishes & the strawberry margarita!

Food was ok enough, but we got take out and when I took my last bite, there was half a broken toothpick in it. I ordered enchiladas and the toothpick was in the rice.

Third time here and I can say this spot is great! I brought my family here and sat in their booths. The restaurant has a great feel to it, the servers are really nice and the Mexican food is traditional and tasty. I get a wet super burrito with a tostada de ceviche . They also have bean dip! What more can you ask for.

Favorite taco and burrito spot in town. I love the shredded chicken in both. Very nice service, too.

I came in to pick up some guacamole. I had family visiting. The service was good but the guacamole was awful. It was slimy &.clearly not fresh. They said I'd get a pint for $12.00 but it was much smaller than a pint. I don't usually post reviews but I'd prepared a special meal. Chips & guac was an appetizer. It was dark green, almost brown &.of a texture I'd not had before. I don't usually and complain. My 1st review ever. But for $12.00 I was so disappointed. Threw it out! I'm tempted to ask for my money back. I'm a senior on a fixed income & can't afford to throw money away like that.
